French President Emmanuel Macron will reportedly be granted a state visit before one expected for Donald Trump in September.
The Sunday Times says Mr Macron has received an invitation from the King to travel to the UK at the end of May, his first state visit to Britain.
It comes after the US president suggested Buckingham Palace was “setting a date for September” for him to meet Charles.

“I’m a friend of Charles, I have great respect for King Charles and the family, William, we have really just a great respect for the family.”
The invitation to Trump from the King was extended by Prime Minister Keir Starmer when he visited the White House in February.
However, reports suggest that the venue for Trump’s trip is now expected to be Windsor Castle, rather than Balmoral or Dumfries House, as previously thought.
Mr Macron’s visit is also expected to take place at Windsor due to a refurbishment of Buckingham Palace.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves will travel to Washington next week for meetings of the International Monetary Fund and is expected to speak with counterparts about the prospect of a wider economic agreement to mitigate the impact of Trump’s ten per cent tariffs on all goods entering America.
Sir Keir and Macron have been cooperating closely on defence, with plans for an Anglo-French-led “coalition of the willing” to defend any potential peace deal in Ukraine.
